Glasgow Underground Nu Disco / Disco

Don't Leave Me This Way is one of those rare songs that has survived multiple eras. From Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes to Thelma Houston to The Communards, it has defined each generation differently. This new master recording pairs Kevin McKay with T'Shan Williams, a vocalist whose tone, control and presence place her firmly in the lineage of the great disco powerhouses. Built around live keys, guitar and bass, the production leans into the richness and harmonic lift that made Thelma Houston's version so powerful, while grounding it in a modern club groove.
